in contract, tort or otherwise) in relation to any:



 


		(a)	content, information or data provided toGoogle by Opera, End Users or any other third parties; or

		(a)	250% of the Relevant Fees; and



 


		(b)	US$5 million (five million United States Dollars).



 


The “Relevant Fees”
means X/Y x Z. Where:

to the Applicable Time;


 


Y = the number of days elapsed in the relevant Contract Year prior to the Applicable Time; and

		8.	Confidentiality and Publicity



 


		8.1	The recipient of any Confidential Information shall not disclose that Confidential Information, except to Group Companies,
employees, agents and/or professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional
advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient shall ensure that those people and entities: (a) use such
Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfil obligations under this Agreement; and (b) keep such Confidential Information
confidential. The recipient may also disclose Confidential Information when required by law after giving reasonable notice to the

or similar remedies or relief prior to disclosure.



 


		8.2	Neither party may issue any press release regarding or in connection with this Agreement without the other party’s prior
written approval. Google agrees that Opera may issue public announcements when required by law, including announcements to the

notice of any announcement required by law unless it is not possible for Opera to provide advance notice in the circumstances in

or territory in which Google Products are distributed imposes any law, restriction or regulation that makes it illegal to distribute
the Google Products, or any portion thereof, into such country or territory, or if any such law, restriction or regulation places
a substantial burden on Google, where substantial is measured with respect to Google’s economic benefit under this Agreement,
as determined by Google in its reasonable and good faith judgment (such substantial burden, a “Substantial Burden”),
then Google may require Opera to suspend all distributions of Google Products in such country or territory until such time as such
law, restriction or regulation is repealed or nullified or modified such that it is no longer illegal or a Substantial Burden,

or territory, or if any such law, restriction or regulation places a substantial burden on Opera, where substantial is measured
with respect to Opera’s economic benefit under this Agreement, as determined by Opera in its reasonable and good faith judgment
(such substantial burden, a “ Substantial Burden”), then Opera may suspend all distributions of Opera Desktop
Browsers, Opera Mini Browsers or Opera Mobile Browsers in such country or territory until such time as such law, restriction or
regulation is repealed or nullified or modified such that it is no longer illegal or a Substantial Burden, as applicable, for such
browsers to be distributed in such country or territory (“Opera Special Suspension”). If an Opera Special Suspension
occurs, Parties will negotiate in good faith to lower the Minimum Query Threshold of clause 7 in Schedule One as well as the payments
due under clause 6 of Schedule One.

and Google will within sixty (60) days pay to Opera any undisputed amounts which have accrued from the time of the most recent
payment to Opera through the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement; (d) Opera will promptly pay to Google any amounts
owed to Google; and (e) if requested by Google, Opera will immediately stop marketing and distributing the Google Products to the

and/or Opera Mobile Browsers as Google may specify, in accordance with the licence in clause 12.1 of this Agreement.



 


		12.2	All goodwill arising from the use by Opera of Google’s Brand Features shall belong to Google. Opera acknowledges that

provided that such Google Opera Browsers are not modified in any way prior to use by End Users.



 


		13.2	Opera shall, and shall ensure that each Third Party Distributor shall, distribute Google Opera Browsers in a manner that

		(a)	Google’s liability for any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential; and



 


		(b)	all warranties with respect to Google, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement
(for avoidance of doubt, these disclaimers may be accomplished using a phrase such as “Opera’s suppliers”
and need not specify Google by name).



 


		13.3	During the Term, Opera shall, and shall require each Third Party Distributor to, comply with the following in respect of
their distribution of any Google Opera Browser:



 


		(a)	Google’s client application guidelines, a current version
                                         of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F, as may be updated by Google from time to time
                                         (the “Client Application Guidelines”); and



 


		(b)	Google’s mobile browser guidelines, a current version
                                         of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G, as may be updated by Google from time to time
                                         (the “Mobile Browser Guidelines”).



 


		13.4	Google in its sole discretion may direct Opera to cease distributing Google Opera Browsers to or through any Third Party
Distributor that, in Google’s sole discretion:



 


		(a)	is not compliant with the Client Application Guidelines and/or the Mobile Browser Guidelines;

		(c)	violate Google’s privacy policy.



 


In such circumstances, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event longer than fourteen (14) days following receipt
of Google?s notice), Opera shall cause the relevant Third Party Distributor(s) to cease distribution of such Google Opera
Browser and Google will have no obligation under clause 6.1 of Schedule One of this Agreement with respect to any Search Queries
submitted to Google from any such Google Opera Browser. Any such Opera Desktop Browser, Opera Mobile Browser or Opera Mini
Browser that Opera subsequently allows such Third Party Distributor to distribute shall not include any of the Google Products
and/or Brand Features (and, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an Excluded Opera Browser).


 


		13.5	Opera shall ensure that no Third Party Distributor bundles any
software or browser extensions in or with Google Opera Browsers without Google’s prior written approval, and if Google grants
its approval, Opera shall provide Google with information about any such bundling arrangements at Google’s request.

such browser may be re-branded, updated or succeeded from time to time), or (ii) any Ad Revenues that result from such Search Queries;
and



 


		(c)	notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no payments shall become due under this Agreement for: (i) any Search

that prior to the Amendment Effective Date, Client IDs associated with Payable Smartphone Queries may have been included in some
Opera Mini Browsers and Opera Mobile Browsers that are installed on Devices that are not Smartphones. On and from the Amendment
Effective Date, the Client IDs which Opera shall implement in respect of Payable Smartphone Queries shall be the following, as
applicable: ms-opera-mobile, ms-opera-mini-android, ms-opera-mini-iphone, ms-opera-mobile-android and ms-opera-coast (together
with such additional alpha numeric codes as Google may specify to Opera).

Google has provided written confirmation of its approval of such changes (such approval to be at Google’s absolute discretion
and which may be by email). Google shall provide its written confirmation or rejection within fourteen (14) days from Opera’s
request. Failure to notify shall not constitute approval by Google. In the event that the changes are not approved by Google, Opera
shall, within fourteen (14) days of notice from Google that the changes are not approved, make further changes to achieve compliance
with Exhibit A (part c) and the process in this clause 10.1 of this Schedule One shall again apply.



 


		10.2	In respect of: (a) any new browser that Opera plans to release during the Term which, if released, would be an Included Opera
Browser; and (b) any proposed Material Change to an Included Opera Browser or any browser which forms part of the Existing Install
Base during the Term (save those changes approved pursuant to clause 10.1 of this Schedule One above), Opera will:



 


		(i)	notify Google of this in writing (including by email) at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the expected launch of such
new browser or Material Change and submit a mock up and any other relevant details of the proposed new browser or Material Change
for approval by Google; and



 


		(ii)	not implement the proposed Material Change or launch the new browser into live use (as applicable) until Google has provided
written confirmation of its approval of such new browser or Material Change (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and
which may be by email) at least fourteen (14) days before the expected launch of such new browser or Material Change, provided
that failure to notify shall not constitute approval by Google. Any new mock-ups agreed shall be treated as forming part of Exhibit

		10.3	If at any time during the Term, Opera would like to add additional Search Access Point(s) on any Included Opera Browser or
any browser which forms part of the Existing Install Base beyond those listed in Exhibit A and/ or Exhibit B, Opera shall notify
Google and the parties shall work together in good faith for the purpose of determining the feasibility of implementing such new
Search Access Point. Opera shall not add any new Search Access Point(s) to any Included Opera Browsers or any browsers which form
part of the Existing Install Base beyond those listed in Exhibit A and/ or Exhibit B, unless the parties execute a written amendment
to this Agreement which permits the same.



 






    	 	 	26



     


    

 


		10.4	Opera shall ensure that any proposed changes to the user interface for the g of any Search Access Point comply with the requirements
at clause 9 of this Schedule One.



 


		11.	Promotion of Google Accounts and Google Products.

Google Account or not, prompt any End User who is not signed in to a Google Account to sign in to or register for a Google Account;
and



 


		(b)	subject to clause 11.2 of this Schedule One, promote such Google Products as Google nominates from time to time (or failing
such nomination, such Google Products as Opera reasonably nominates): (i) by including links and Brand Features relating to those
products in the “Speed Dial” screen of Opera Desktop Browsers, Opera Mini Browsers and Opera Mobile Browsers; and (ii)
as otherwise agreed between the parties in writing,



 


provided in each case that Opera
reasonably considers that such prompts or promotions (as applicable) would not have a material detrimental impact on the relevant
End User’s experience or Opera’s commercial or business interests.


 


		11.2	Google may from time to time notify Opera in writing if Google does not wish Opera to promote certain Google Products under
clause 11.1(b). Opera shall cease to promote any Google Products that are the subject of any such notice within 7 days of its receipt

		12.	Compliance with Google Product Terms.



 


Without prejudice to Google’s
(or the relevant Google Group Company’s) rights and remedies under the terms applicable to any Google Product, Opera shall
ensure that, within 60 days from the 2015 Renewal Date, its and its Group Companies’ use of any Google Product (including
Google Play and YouTube) is and will thereafter remain in accordance with the terms that apply to that Google Product.

Client Application Guidelines


 


 


 


Client Application Guidelines for Applications Bundled With
Google Products


 


1. Introduction. People using Google’s services
or products distributed with Google Products should have clear disclosure, meaningful choice and the best experience possible.
Users should not have to deal with illegal, misleading, deceptive, harmful or hard-to-uninstall software. Google’s “Software
Principles” (available at http://www.google.com/about/company/software-principles.html) and “Unwanted
Software Policies” (available at http://www.google.com/about/company/unwantedsoftwarepolicy.html) and these Client Application
Guidelines (“Guidelines”) govern any applications bundled with a Google Product for distribution (each a “Distributor
App”) and any Third Party Bundled Apps (as defined in Section 7 of these Guidelines). Collectively, the Software Principles
and the Unwanted Software Policies shall constitute the “Policies”.


 


Capitalized terms not defined in these Guidelines are defined
in the Google Distribution Agreement between Distributor and Google (“Agreement”). If these Guidelines conflict
with the terms of the Agreement, the Agreement will control. Any reference in these Guidelines to an “application”
means an application, plug-in, extension, helper, component or other executable code.


 


2. Compliance.


 


2.1. Bundle Distribution. Bundling and distribution of
the Google Products together with the Distributor Apps must be performed in accordance with the Agreement. Distributor must ensure
that the Distributor Apps (and any updated or subsequent versions of those applications) comply at all times with these Guidelines
and the Policies, each of which may be amended from time to time.


 


2.2. Enforcement. At any time during the Term, Google
may re-examine a Distributor App for compliance with these Guidelines and the Policies, and Distributor agrees to fully cooperate
with Google in any such reexamination. In addition to any other right of suspension or termination in the Agreement, (a) Google
may suspend bundling and distribution of the Google Products in association with any Distributor App that is not in compliance
with these Guidelines or the Policies until such noncompliance has been cured (as determined by Google in its sole discretion);
and (b) if Distributor does not remedy any such noncompliance within 30 days of notice or is not in compliance with these Guidelines
or the Policies more than twice during the Term, regardless of cure, Google may terminate the Agreement (in whole or in part).


 


3. End User Choice. For purposes of these Guidelines,
“User Choice” means an option that can be switched between “on”, “yes” or something
similar and “off”, “no” or something similar by the End User with a single action (e.g. a click on a button).
Except as permitted under Section 5 of these Guidelines, during the download, installation or update of a Distributor App, End
Users must be presented a separate User Choice for each installation option, user selection or user consent, and each such User
Choice (a) must be displayed as a separate line item with a separate checkbox or similar acknowledgement, and (b) must be selectable
without having to take any other action (e.g. no inactive checkboxes). Distributor must not mislead the End User into selecting
or accepting a particular User Choice.


 


4. No Misleading, Deceptive or Harmful Practices.


 


4.1. Clear Download and Installation Choices.


 


(a) A Distributor App may not be downloaded to an End User’s
computer without full, accurate, clear and conspicuous disclosure and End User consent to the download (i.e. no “drive-by”
downloads).


 


(b) Installation screens for Distributor Apps must ensure that
the End User consents to the installation. The first installation screen upon downloading a Distributor App must fully, accurately,
clearly and conspicuously disclose to the End User the name of the Distributor App, the entities responsible for it, the principal
and significant features of the Distributor App, and the end user license agreement and privacy policy applicable to such Distributor
App. The first installation screen must also conform to the installation screen mockup(s) attached to the Agreement, if any.


 






    	 	 	31



     


    

 


(c) A Distributor App must not use, or permit a third party
to use, an End User’s computer for any purpose unless (i) such use is fully, accurately, clearly and conspicuously disclosed
to the End User, and (ii) the End User consents to such use.


 


(d) Distributor must not induce an End User to install a software
component by intentionally misrepresenting that it is necessary for security or privacy, or in order to open, view or play a particular
type of content.


 


4.2. Prohibited Behavior. A Distributor App must not
engage in illegal, misleading, deceptive, harmful, harassing, or otherwise annoying practices, or practices that tend to degrade
the speed or overall quality of an End User’s experience (in each case, as determined by Google in its sole discretion).
For example, a Distributor App may not do any of the following:


 


(a) Intentionally create, facilitate the creation of, or exploit
any security vulnerabilities in an End User’s computer.


 


(b) Trigger pop-ups, pop-unders, exit windows, or similar obstructive
or intrusive functionality that materially interferes with an End User’s web navigation or browsing or the use of his or
her computer.


 


(c) For a period of six months after an End User declines to
take (or reverses) an action with respect to that Distributor App (including, without limitation, during installation, use, update
or uninstallation of a Distributor App), re-prompt the End User to take, or try to deceive the End User into taking, such action.


 


(d) Redirect browser traffic away from valid DNS entries.


 


(e) Interfere with or bypass general browser messaging, functionality
or performance, including without limitation general rendering of web pages (for example, by injection of html code into web pages
viewed by the End User on a browser, where such html code is not provided specifically for the purpose of enhancing either (i)
the quality of rendering or (ii) the speed of rendering of the page called by the End User).


 


(f) Engage in an activity that violates any applicable law or
regulation.


 


(g) Contain any viruses, worms, trojan horses, or the like.


 


4.3. Personally Identifiable Information. If a Distributor
App collects an End User’s personally identifiable information or transmits such information to any entity other than the
End User, or collects or transmits information related to an End User’s computer, or Internet usage or activity in a manner
that could collect or transmit such End User’s personally identifiable information (such as through keystroke logging), prior
to the first occurrence of any such collection or transmission, Distributor must (a) fully, accurately, clearly and conspicuously
disclose: (i) the type of information collected (described with specificity in the case of personally identifiable information),
(ii) the method of collection (e.g. by registration, etc.) and (iii) the location of (i.e. a link to) the privacy policy that governs
the collection, use and disclosure of the information, and (b) obtain the End User’s consent to such collection and/or transmission.


 


4.4. Transparency.


 


(a) Any disclosure made in connection with a Distributor App
must be designed so that it will be read by and adequately inform a typical user. The appearance
(e.g. font size, color, shading) of any such disclosure should
be as prominent as other information on the same screen or page.


 


(b) Neither Distributor nor any of its distribution or bundling
partners may mislead End Users or create End User confusion with regard to the source, owner, purpose, functionality or features
of Distributor Apps. Every Point of Contact for a Distributor App must clearly, conspicuously, accurately and consistently identify
the Distributor as the source of that application and the associated functionality. A “Point of Contact” is
any point of contact with an End User that is related to a Distributor App, including without limitation (i) web pages promoting
the Distributor App or from which the Distributor App is made available for download, (ii) the Distributor App offer and installation
screens, (iii) the Distributor App user interface, and (iv) information regarding the Distributor App in the operating system menu
of an End User’s computer.


 


4.5. No Misleading Google Branding or Attribution. Distributor
Apps, and any related collateral material, must not claim endorsement or support from Google or use Google branding to mislead
or confuse End Users regarding the source or owner of the Distributor Apps.


 






    	 	 	32



     


    

 


5. Changes to an End User’s Settings.


 


5.1. Restriction. A Distributor App may not (a) make
changes to the operating system or application or data settings on an End User’s computer (“End User Settings”);
or (b) modify the operation or display of other applications or websites (other than websites that Distributor owns) on an End
User’s computer.


 


5.2. Expected Changes to End User Settings. Notwithstanding
Section 5.1 of these Guidelines, a Distributor App may make changes to End User Settings, so long as (a) the End User could reasonably
expect such changes to be made in connection with his or her use of the Distributor App (as determined by Google in its sole discretion),
(b) Distributor fully, accurately, clearly and conspicuously discloses the changes and the practical effect of such changes to
the End User, and (c) the End User consents to make such changes.


 


5.3. Minor Changes to End User Settings. Notwithstanding
Section 5.1 of these Guidelines, a Distributor App may make minor changes to an End User’s computer, so long as the End User
could reasonably expect such changes to be made in connection with his or her use of the Distributor App (as determined by Google
in its sole discretion).


 


6. EULA and Privacy Policy. Each Distributor App must
comply with all applicable laws and regulations and must be distributed pursuant to an end user license agreement (“EULA”)
that complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Distributor and its Distributor App(s) must comply with the EULA and Distributor’s
privacy policy. The applicable EULA and privacy policy must be readily and easily accessible during the download and installation
process, as well as from a link in each Distributor App. If a Distributor App collects or transmits any information related to
the End User's use of his or her computer that is not required to be disclosed and consented to pursuant to Section 4.3 of these
Guidelines, then the collection and use of such other information must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in the applicable
privacy policy.


 


7. Third Party Bundled Applications. 


 


7.1. Additional Terms for Third Party Bundled Applications.
Subject to Google’s prior written approval and the terms of the Agreement, Distributor may offer a third party application
during the download, installation or update of a Distributor App (each a “Third Party Bundled App”) so long
as any such Third Party Bundled Apps comply with all the requirements applicable to the Distributor Apps set forth in these Guidelines.
Without limiting the foregoing, all of Google’s rights and Distributor’s obligations with respect to Distributor Apps
set forth in these Guidelines will apply to all Third Party Bundled Apps. Distributor may distribute Third Party Bundled Apps subject
to the following additional terms: (a) Third Party Bundled Apps must not be targeted to minors (as
determined by Google in its sole discretion). (b) If Google (i) receives or is otherwise aware of complaints or regulatory inquiries
related to a particular Third Party Bundled App or class of applications or (ii) determines
that a particular Third Party Bundled App or class of applications is illegal or encourages illegal activity, or is harmful, deceptive
or annoying to users, Google may restrict Distributor from distributing the Distributor App bundled with such Third Party
Bundled Apps or a class of applications. (c) Every Point of Contact for each Third Party Bundled App
must clearly, conspicuously, accurately and consistently identify the applicable third party as the source of that application
and the associated functionality.


 


8. Deactivation and Uninstallation. The uninstallation
process for each Distributor App must be simple and easy for a typical End User to understand. Each Distributor App must provide
End Users with the option to completely uninstall such application from the customary place for the applicable operating system
(e.g. Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows), except where a Distributor App is preloaded on a mobile phone or tablet by
the Original Equipment Manufacturer prior to its initial sale to a consumer. Once a Distributor App is uninstalled, no process,
functionality or design elements related to that application should remain. Once an End User disables a Distributor App, such application
must not be re-enabled without the End User’s consent.


 


9. Legal. Distributor must ensure that any Distributor
Apps and Third Party Bundled Apps comply with the Policies and the applicable provisions of these Guidelines.


 


10. Updates. Google will provide Distributor with 30
days prior written notice of any updates to these Guidelines.

or derivative elements) must not make changes to the user’s device outside of the app unless such change is clearly and prominently
presented to the user and the user explicitly consents. This includes behavior such as replacing or reordering the default presentation
of apps, widgets, or the settings on the device. If an app makes such changes with the user’s knowledge and consent, it must
be clear to the user which app has made the change and the user must be able to reverse the change easily, or by uninstalling the
app altogether.


 


4.12.2. Approved Distribution App may not request or
